Experienced Homeowner & Devoted Pet Care

More information about this house sitter

Hello, I'm Arimaya.

I'm a responsible, trustworthy homeowner, professional and lifelong animal lover who genuinely enjoys caring for homes and pets. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to leave your home and beloved animals with someone who will treat them with the same care, respect and attention that you would.

I live on the Bellarine Peninsula in Victoria and work as the CEO of a national not-for-profit organisation focused on creating opportunities for First Nations young people. My work is flexible and often allows me to spend significant time at home, making house and pet sitting a natural fit for my lifestyle.

I share my home with Wiley, a gentle Labrador, Taro, an independent tabby cat, and Nala, a very spoiled indoor Ragdoll. Caring for animals is simply part of who I am. I have experience with dogs, cats, senior pets, anxious pets and multi-pet households, and I understand that every animal has their own personality, routines and needs.

As a homeowner, I appreciate the trust involved in inviting someone into your home. You can expect me to keep your property clean, secure and well maintained while you're away. I'm comfortable watering plants, collecting mail, managing bins, coordinating with gardeners or trades if needed, and ensuring everything is exactly as you left it when you return.

Communication is important to me, so I provide regular updates and photos to give owners peace of mind while they're travelling. Whether your pets love long walks and playtime or simply want a calm companion and a consistent routine, I take the time to ensure they feel safe, settled and cared for.

Friends and colleagues describe me as dependable, organised, respectful and warm. I take commitments seriously and understand that house sitting is about more than looking after a property, it's about caring for the animals and routines that make a house feel like home.

I look forward to meeting you, hearing about your pets and helping make your time away as stress-free as possible. Read more...
